Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 The Complete Guide for Cosmetic Formulators
01
Product Description
Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 (also known as Ceteareth-12) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols through ethoxylation with approximately 12 ethylene oxide units. As a mid-chain ethoxylate, it balances hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it suitable for stabilizing oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions and enhancing texture in cosmetics.
Aogebio® presents Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 (INCI: Ceteareth-12), a premium non-ionic emulsifier engineered for superior oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion stability in advanced cosmetic products. With its optimal HLB value of 14.5, our Cetyl Stearyl Ether-12 is the ideal choice for formulators seeking to create lightweight yet stable creams, lotions, and serums with exceptional spreadability and long-lasting performance.
Premium Applications Include:
• Daily moisturizers with fast-absorption properties
• Protective sunscreens requiring even dispersion of filters
• Conditioning shampoos for improved silicone solubilization
• Anti-aging serums with active ingredient stabilization
